Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement

Financial year: 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027 Introduction

This statement is made pursuant to section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps taken by Permanent Futures Limited to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in its business operations and supply chains during the financial year.

Our business and organisational structure

Permanent Futures Limited is a UK-based recruitment and consultancy business. Our core activities include recruitment services, consultancy, and associated support services delivered primarily within the UK. Our workforce consists of permanent employees and contractors. We do not operate manufacturing facilities or overseas production sites.

Our supply chains

Our supply chains are relatively limited and primarily UK-based. They consist mainly of professional service providers, technology and software suppliers, office services, marketing providers, and outsourced support services. We recognise that some sectors may present a higher risk of modern slavery and take a proportionate, risk-based approach to supplier management.

Policies and governance

We have policies and procedures in place that reflect our commitment to ethical conduct and compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015. These include an Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy, Code of Conduct, Whistleblowing Policy, and Supplier Standards. These policies are reviewed periodically and communicated to relevant employees, contractors, and suppliers.

Due diligence and risk management

We apply proportionate due diligence processes to our suppliers based on the nature of the goods or services provided and the level of perceived risk. This includes risk-based assessments during supplier onboarding, contractual obligations requiring compliance with applicable laws, and the right to request additional information where appropriate. Where potential risks are identified, we take appropriate steps to mitigate them, which may include enhanced checks or engagement with suppliers.

Training and awareness

Relevant employees receive training and guidance to help them understand modern slavery and human trafficking risks, recognise warning signs, and report concerns. This supports a culture of awareness, accountability, and ethical behaviour across the organisation.

Monitoring and effectiveness

We monitor the effectiveness of our approach through key performance indicators, including supplier compliance checks completed, employee training completion, and any concerns raised. No confirmed incidents of modern slavery were identified during the financial year.

Reporting concerns

Employees, contractors, and suppliers are encouraged to raise concerns through our whistleblowing procedures or directly with senior management. All concerns are taken seriously and investigated appropriately.

Approval

This statement was approved by the Board of Directors of Permanent Futures Limited.
